Happy Chandara School

Teaching program

Our school provides free, high-quality education to the poorest girls in the surrounding area. It has developed its own curriculum, based on the official program established by the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports of Cambodia. Since the official program only requires part-time attendance (half a day), our school adds extra classes to offer a full-day program.

Thus, in addition to the national Khmer program, schoolgirls study English from the first year, followed by French and computer science. Emphasis is also placed on personal development and creativity through sports. The curriculum also includes arts, dance, and general knowledge about the world in which they live. The youngest girls can experience the joy of reading, imagining, dreaming, and playing thanks to the school's media library and toy library.

The teachers, whether Khmer, French, or English, are committed to encouraging each child to learn and grow to the best of her ability.

The school also offers a career guidance program: career forums are organized for high school students, and 10th-grade students complete an observation internship at a company.

Selection criteria

Registration for future schoolgirls takes place every year in May. The criteria for selecting girls who will join the school in September are very specific. Priority is given to children from the poorest families (with a monthly income of less than $150). Other factors, such as distance from the school, type of housing, and access to water and electricity, are also considered. Each child's situation is carefully evaluated by a team of social workers who visit the families.

Since the school is located in a rural area, pupils must live within a radius of about fifteen kilometers from the campus.
